Saturday will see Forest visit the south coast for the away fixture at Bournemouth where both clubs will be looking for maximum points for differing reasons. Forest will be hoping to relight their promotion push whilst Bournemouth will be trying to close the gap on safety currently four points adrift in 22^nd place.

Bournemouth are currently managed by Kevin Bond who replaced Doncaster bound Sean O’Driscoll in 2006. Bond completed a family double as his father John Bond also managed the club between 1970 and 1973.

Goals have been hard to find at home with them only managing 16 in the 14 league games to date whilst during that time they have conceded 29 at home. Even though their goal scored ratio is low they have not featured in a goalless draw since the opening day of the season when they visited the City Ground in the reverse fixture.

Results had improved of late but a run of two consecutive wins against fellow relegation threatened Luton Town and Port Vale was ended on Tuesday when they lost at Huddersfield Town.
